#21: Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Time (Avoid Idea Overwhelm)
listen now on
If you’re anything like me (or, every client I’ve worked with this year), your creative brain is on fire - constantly full of new ideas, dreaming up big projects, and planning 18 different launches…if you had the time!
But when everything feels urgent and exciting all at once, it’s easy to get stuck in that frustrating cycle of starting a million things…and not finishing any of them.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about idea overwhelm and what to actually do with all those ideas, and how to turn creative chaos into calm, focused momentum. I’ll share my go-to system for managing the idea overwhelm, how to know what to prioritise, and permission to pause without guilt.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like their brain is too full to make progress!
What We Cover in This Episode:
Why idea overwhelm is a sign of creativity, not failure
My process for turning messy brain dumps into actionable plans
How to prioritise your projects based on energy and the season you're in
A little intro to Human Design and how it’s changed the way I work
What it looks like to pause an idea on purpose (without guilt)
Your brain is simply full. You don’t need more ideas…you need some breathing room.
An “idea dump” is only the beginning. Clarity comes when you sort and revisit.
Saying not right now to an idea doesn’t mean giving up. It’s strategic.
